About me
Before I became a career psychologist, I spent nearly two decades working in the Civil Service, HR, project management, and professional services. I know what it feels like to be capable, experienced, and still in the wrong place.
That background informs everything I do. My work draws on both career theory and real organisational experience.
I’ve worked independently as a career psychologist and coach for over a decade, helping individuals at every career stage to find their direction. I work only with individuals, never organisations, so this is always personal, never corporate.
My approach is warm but not cosy. I will listen carefully, work hard to understand your situation from the inside, and create a space where you can think freely. But I will also offer observations, challenge assumptions, and give you honest feedback where it is helpful. I find that clients value both equally.
My focus is always on helping you understand and value what you offer, rather than measuring yourself against a version of success that was never right for you. It is better to work to your strengths than to pursue a path that looks impressive on paper but leaves you feeling like a square peg in a round hole. More than anything, I want you to leave feeling better about yourself and what you can offer in your career.
